Book Club Meets: “Women are survivors and scapegoats!” Rage and revenge, with Elizabeth Day
Episode 3
Thursday, 4 December, 2025
Elizabeth Day had an urgent need to say something about the way we’re living – about the power, politics, class, sexism, and discrimination that plague the world around us.She explores all of that, plus perimenopause and female rage, through the entertaining lens of her latest novel One Of Us.In this live Book Club chat with Fearne, Elizabeth talks about how she realised that – and wanted to write about – women so often being the victims, survivors, and scapegoats of male power and privilege. They also explore whether getting revenge is ever really as sweet as you hope it’ll be...Elizabeth is famously obsessed with reality TV, so how did The Real Housewives franchise inspire parts of One Of Us, and what does she make of politicians rehabilitating their careers on reality TV and gossip podcasts? Plus, how writing about motherhood in this book allowed Elizabeth to process her own feelings about not having children.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like: Book Club Meets: Elizabeth Gilbert Book Club Meets: Aisha Muharrar Book Club Meets: Emily Henry Hosted on Acast.
